Versa 2 has short battery life

[SunsetRunner]

I've had my Versa 2 only 4 months and I have to charge it every 2 days. So disappointed with it.  When I bought it it was advertised as 7 days battery life. Bull.  Unhappy customer.

Hi @SunsetRunner 

I am sorry to hear you are disappointed with the battery life.  Below are some types for increasing the device's battery life:

WHAT ARE TIPS TO EXTEND MY FITBIT DEVICE'S BATTERY LIFE?

• Keep in mind that it can take up to 2 hours to charge your device to 100%. Avoid charging your device in extreme cold or heat—below 32°F and above 113° F (below 0° C and above 45° C). For more information, see How do I charge my Fitbit device?
• Prevent the screen from turning on each time you turn your wrist. If you move your hands a lot, your device’s screen may turn on more often than you realize. For more information, see How do I see the time on my Fitbit device?
• Dim the screen or turn on auto brightness on Fitbit Charge 3, Fitbit Charge 4, Fitbit Ionic, or Fitbit Versa series. In the Settings app  on your device, find the brightness setting, and tap to change it.
• Turn off the always-on display setting on Fitbit Versa 2. For more information, see How do I see the time on my Fitbit device?
• Turn off notifications you don’t need, including alerts from apps on your phone, alarms, and reminders to move. For more information, see How do I get notifications from my phone on my Fitbit device? How do I manage alarms on my Fitbit device? and What is a Fitbit reminder to move?
• Reduce your use of music control, music apps, Fitbit Pay, and connected or built-in GPS.
• Consider changing your clock face, as animated clock faces may require more frequent charging. For more information, see How do I change the clock face on my Fitbit device?
• Turn off certain Fitbit devices when you’re not using them. For more information, see How do I turn off my Fitbit device?

@cathm I hope you're doing well! Sorry for the delay in my reply.

Let me help you with your Versa 2's battery draining quickly. Besides @cathm great suggestions I would like to add that you can try cleaning the contacts using cotton swab with rubbing alcohol, then charge it by plugging it for a couple of hours directly to your computer's USB port (try different ports) or use an UL-certified USB adapter. After this, restart your device and see how it behaves.

Let me know how it goes.
